ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITVE AGREEMENT.

On June 30, 2006, Integra LifeSciences Corporation (the "Buyer"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with Integra California,
Inc., Kinetikos Medical, Inc. ("KMI"), Telegraph Hill Partners Management LLC,
as Shareholders Representative, and the shareholders party thereto to acquire
the outstanding stock of KMI.

The total purchase price will be $40 million in cash, subject to certain
adjustments, including future earn-out payments of up to $20 million, based on
the sales of certain specified products during the two-year period following the
consummation of the merger.

At the effective time of the merger, Integra California, Inc., which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer, will be merged with and into KMI, with KMI
being the surviving corporation in the merger and becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Buyer.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each common shareholder will receive a pro
rata share of the purchase price less KMI's existing debt, the payment of
certain expenses incurred by KMI in connection with this transaction and the
payment of liquidation preferences to KMI's preferred shareholders.

The Buyer has entered into an employment agreement with James Ham, the President
and CEO of KMI, which shall become effective at the closing.

The Buyer has entered into a voting agreement with certain KMI shareholders who
own approximately 53% of the outstanding shares of KMI's capital stock on a
fully-diluted basis, pursuant to which the KMI shareholders have agreed to vote
in favor of the merger.

Consummation of the merger is subject to KMI obtaining approval of 96% of its
shareholders, KMI's shareholders entering into a shareholder representative
agreement, pursuant to which they will appoint Telegraph Hill Partners
Management LLC as their representative to interact with the Buyer with respect
to any disputes arising under the Merger Agreement during the post-closing
period, and certain other customary conditions.

A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the entering into
the agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
